AHave you ever felt that you wa nt more friends? Have you found that you don’t know how to make friends? Don’t worry. It’s easier than it looks.Start with small actions. If you’re uncomfortable with long conversations with people, start by just saying “hi” and asking what the person is doing. Even if you do more listening than talking in the beginning, people will usually still like you. When it comes to conversations, remember “F.O.R.”. It stands for family, occupation(职业) and recreation(休闲). You are most likely to be asked about these three topics when you meet someone new. Most people feel comfortable talking about the three topics. The great thing is that you also can communicate with someone new in these three areas.Honesty is the best policy. In friendship, “honesty” is the fundamental quality that one must have. One should always be honest with his or her friends. Don’t laugh at people’s fault. Praise them honestly and openly. Say you are sorry if you hurt your friend.Give more than you take. Be there when they need you, encourage them; we all need encouragement now and then. Encourage their dreams. Life seems meaningless without them. Wish your friends good luck. Examine your purpose before you “help out”. Love an d never forget them.1.

What does the underlined word “fundamental” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. basic.B. beautiful.C. comfortable.D. meaningful.3. Which would be the best title for this passage?A. Where to Meet Friends?B.

People came in just to hear him play. But one night, a customer told him that he didn’t want to hear him just play the piano any more. He wanted him to sing a song.The man said, “I don’t sing.”But the customer was persistent (固执的). He told the bar manager, “I’m tired of listening to the piano. I want that man to sing!”The manager shouted across the room, “If you want to get paid, sing a song. Our customers are asking you to sing!”So he did. He sang a song. A piano player who had never sung in public did so for the first time. And everyone was surprised by his song —“Mona, Mona Lisa”. He got lots of applause (掌声) that night.He had such a talent for singing, but he just had been sitting on his talent for the past years! If without such a chance, he may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. However, now he had become one of the best-known singers in America.You, too, have skills and abilities. Maybe your “talent” is not as great as the s inger above, but it may be better than you think!

For one thing, scientists have yet to determine its long-term effects. For instance, if a studen t’s curiosity is aroused at the 13 of a school day, will it help them better absorb information all day long? Another thing the 14 are keen to investigate iswhy some people are more 15 curious than others, and which factors most influence how curious we are.1.

I’m writing this letter to apply for the opportunity to go to America. As a senior school student who is really interested in learning English, I believe that this journey will make a great difference to me.I have been learning English since I was a child, which contributes to my excellent English capacity nowadays. Not only can I read and write well, but also I am capable of expressing myself in English fluently. Therefore, I’m sure that I can communicate with the students in Am erica well. What’s more, I’m convinced that honesty is the best policy and as a result, most of my classmates love to make friends with me. In my spare time, I read a lot, especially classical English novels. Besides, I’m fond of sports and do exercise on a regular basis to stay healthy.I hope the journey abroad can help improve my English as well as broaden my horizons, from which I can learn more about the differences and similarities between China and America.I’m looking forward to your reply.Yours sincerely,Li Hua。

So I left home one morning carrying the char that had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wro ng. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.The second shop, although slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth –so I thought that my approach must be wrong.I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes. How much do you want do it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “Ok,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It has a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that; it’s nothing.”Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me.” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I’m sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You’re right.” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked i n and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me?’” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for five pounds?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.4. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer ___________.A. was rather impoliteB. was warmly welcomedC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair5. Why did the wri ter said “Would you like to buy a chair?” in the fifth shop?A. He was sure that he won’t be able to have the chair repaired.B. He wanted to make some money by selling the chair.C. He had a plan in mind about how to get his chair mended.D. He planned to get a new chair after selling the broken one.6. The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper __________.A. changed his mindB. accepted the offerC. saw the writer’s purposeD. decided to help the writer7. How much will the writer pay?A. £5B. £7C. £20D. £27CMost airlines go all out to ensure their passengers have the best possible flight experience. Now, Europe’s low-budget airline, easyJet, wants to extend the positive experience beyond the plane ride with “Sneakairs”—smart shoes that allow visitors to explore new cities and towns without ever looking at a map.To transform Sneakairs from an ordinary shoe to a tour guide, all the wearer has to do is enter his or her desired destination into the easyJet smartphone app. A built-in GPS will deter-mine the wearer’s starting location while the Google Maps navigation(导航) tool will help chart the best route. Whenever a change of direction is necessary, the app will communicate with the appropriate shoe via the Bluetooth and cause it to vibrate(振动). For example, if the wearer needs to turn right, he/she will feel the sensation in the right shoe. Should the user miss the turn, the smart shoes will both vibrate at the same time, reminding him/her to change course.Visitors that wander off the suggested path or decide to take a break for a cup of coffee or a meal have nothing to worry about. The smart app will automatically determine the new location and chart out a new route, once the desired destination is reached. Sneakairs will vibrate three times to inform the user of the arrival and then go back to being ordinary shoes-until their navigation services are needed again!Sneakairs is certainly not the first navigation shoe in the market. However, easyJet is the first airline to offer them to passengers just as they are about to land in an unknown city. However, before Sneakairs can go mainstream, the easyJet team still needs to make some adjustments. Among the challenges that need to be addressed is the smart shoe’s three-hour battery life, which is hardly enough for a tourist to catch all the delights a new or town has to offer!8. The airline easyJet designed Sneakairs in order to ____________.A. help people exercise with better shoesB. attract more people to choose easyJetC. make sure their passengers have the best possible flight experienceD. provide passengers with further pleasant experience beside their flight9．What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 2 ?A. How Sneakairs worksB. How visitors choose routesC. How users avoid getting lostD. What users should pay attention to10. What might easyJet do to improve its smart shoes?A. Bring down their costB. Add more functionsC. Develop more typesD. Make the battery last longer11. Where does this text probably come from?A. A commercial adB. A science reportC. A tourist mapD. An airline guideDMost people say “yes” much more readily than “no”.A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some help, and you agree. But, whatyou really wanted was a couple of quiet days relaxing at home. Or a roommate spends the entire weekends playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for “reference”. But, you’ve just finished it after taking a whole day to work hard.Many people say “yes” to those kinds of requests. They tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards.Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice, in fact, according to psychologists.“Everyone wants to be liked,” says Gabriel Steinki, a German psychologist. “Saying ‘no’ risk losing the affection of the person asking the favor or even a job.”The result is that many people say “yes” just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say “no”.In fact, rejecting a request can even help to strengthen a relationship because it expresses a true feeling.But, for people used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process.Most people believe that “If I say ‘no’, I’ll lose the affection of the person. But the affection is important to me.” This way of thinking can be replaced by this “If he only likes me because I always do what suits him, then the price of his affection is too high in the long term.”Steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual(相互的) solution. “One needs to present the situation from one’s own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealt with to the advantage of both parties. The other person must have the feeling that his interests are being considered.”When the refusal is not accepted, Steinki advises giving the reasons calmly again until the person gets the message.12. Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no” because ____________.A. they don’t care about their own interests and feeling sB. they don’t know they will regret afterwardsC. they have already been used to saying “yes”D. they care more about others’ affection13. According to the writer, what should you do if you want to refuse the other person’s request?A. Just say you can’t help him.B. Say sorry to him.C. Refuse him clearly.D. Talk to the other person to find a mutual way.14. According to the writer, what should you do if your refusal is not accepted?A. Say yes to him.B. Repeat your reason for his acceptance.C. Just go away.D. Say no to him.15. What is the best title of the passage?A. You Need Courage to Sa y “No”B. “Yes” More than “No”C. Nobody Has the Right to Say “No”D. It’s Easy to Say “Yes”第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Test yourself. This will help you to understand as well as learn faster because it is more active than reading or listening. It will also help y ou to notice your mistakes and the topics you have trouble understanding.Take Fuller NotesNotes should be in your own words, brief and clear. They should be tidy and easy to read. Writing notes will help you better than just underlining as you read, since it forces you to rewrite ideas in your own words.Study the MiddleThe best time to review is soon after you've learned something. You are more likely to remember the material at the beginning and the end of th e lesson, so make sure you focus on the middle when you review.Sleep on ItStudy before going to bed, unless you are very tired. It's easier to remember material you've just learned after sleeping than after an equal period of daytime activity, because your brain continues to think even after you've fallen asleep.Combine Memory and UnderstandingThere are two ways to remember: by memorizing and by understanding. Multiplication tables(乘法表), telephone numbers, and math formulas are better learned by memorizing, while ideas are best learned by understanding.The more ways you have to think about an idea, the more meaning it will have; the more meaningful the learning, the better you can remember it. Pay attention to similarities in ideas and concepts, and then try to understand how they fit in with things you already know. Never be satisfied with anything less than a completely clear understanding of what you are reading. If you are not able to follow the thought, go back to the place where you first got confused and try again. 4．You can notice your mistakes by ________.A. saying things out aloudB. taking notesC. studying the middleD. sleeping on it5．When taking notes, you should ________ to better help you with reading.A. underline important notesB. write notes in your own wordsC. take down every detailD. write as quickly as possible6．The writer advises you to ________ as it is easier for you to remember ma terial.A. study after a period of activityB. do some exercise after studyingC. study as soon as you get upD. study before going to sleep7．Which of the following is NOT helpful for your understanding?A. Thinking about an idea in different ways.B. Relating ideas and concepts with what you already know.C. Reading from the beginning to the end without stop.D. Going back to what first made you confused and start again.CDo you like shopping? Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror? For some of us, shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me, it's something I would rather avoid. Thank goodness for the Internet! It's more convenient tobuy CDs, electrical items, even food, from the comfort of your sofa. But that’s not the only reason: price is an important factor. We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy. This has led to a type of shopping called “showrooming”.Showrooming is something I've done. I will go to a shop to see, touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a lower price. I'm not alone in doing this. Research by a company called Foolproof, found 24％of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013.Amy Cashman, Head of Technology at TNS UK, says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that “people are lacking time, lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying.”She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around.But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change. They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving store discounts or free gifts.We mustn’t forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare. It’s good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by showrooming, you get the best of both worlds!8. The two questions in Paragraph 1 are raised toA. give two examplesB. introduce the topicC. compare different opinionsD. get answers from readers9. What does showrooming mean in the text?A. Trying in shops and buying online.B. Showing products in a room.C. Buying something in a store.D. Shopping on the Internet.10. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Online shops will disappear.B. Free gifts will surely promote sales.C. Shops need necessary changes.D. Shops will be replaced by online shops.11. The author's attitude towards showrooming is .A. criticalB. negativeC. casualD. supportiveDMy oldest child, Emma, just returned to campus after a long holiday break to finish up her last period of college. These days, friends and family have begun flooding me with one question: What is she going to do after graduation?The job market is, after all, awfully tough. Just this month the Federal Reserve Bank published a study showing that “recent graduates are increasingly working in low-paid jobs or working part-time.” The bright spot, according to the study, is for students who majored(主修) in STEM —science, technology, engineering and mathematics —areas in which recent graduates “have tended to do relatively well”.But Emma is a student of the humanities(人文) at a small college. She’s an American Studies major with a focus on the politics and culture of food. For quite a while, I think her field of study is so fashionable right now that I’m not the least bit worried she will find a good job. Yet the more I’ve thought about it, the more I’ve decided to be honest. “I’m not sure what Emma is going to do,” I now say. “But she’s gotten a great education and has really found her interest. — and I know those things will serve he r well over the course of her life.”Nowadays, more and more universities and colleges are being measured by the salaries of their recent graduates. In this climate, encouraging your kid to study the humanities, seems, at best, unwise or, at worst, unconcerned with earning a living. But a college is not a vocational(职业) school. And promoting STEM subjects should not be society’s only answer tohelping the next generation grow in a competitive world.From the beginning, we never urged Emma to pick a college or a major with an eye on its expected return on money, as more and more families are doing. To Emma, what really matters will be something that we may not be able to measure for quite a long time: Emma’s contributionto the world and how happy she is in it.12. The author’s friends and family_________.A. are worried about Emma’s safetyB. have been worrying about the floodC. are concerned about Emma’s fut ureD. are worried about the job market13. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. The number of the graduates is increasing.B. STEM graduates can be better employees.C. STEM graduates are in relatively greater demand.D. More and more graduates like to do a part-time job.14. Why did Emma choose a major in the humanities?A. Because she is interested in it.B. Because her mother told her to.C. Because it is increasingly popular.D. Because she wants further education.15. According to the author, what matters most in choosing a major is that_________.A. it should be among the STEMB. it should be fashionable and interestingC. it should allow a good job and a high salaryD. it should bring achievements and happiness第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
